Just spotted this by Jason Walsh in The Guardian.
The assembly might fall but it will be built right back up again: the Northern Ireland executive is a zombie government that it is barely functional at the best of times, operating without an opposition or the ability to be rejected in an election, but continually shored up by the British and Irish governments because it is, like the banks, “too big to fail”.

Who are you
I am confused as to whether you are an angry young/old man or a genuine Tory wishing for proper politics in n ireland
I am bryan Somers
Bryan, You can watch a wee video of me on the “About Me” page. I’m the former Vice Chair of the Conservatives in Northern Ireland. I’m 47, married, 2 kids. Run my own business. I lived in England for 10 years. I’m a former Conservative councillor.
Does this help?
What is your view on the success of UUP byelection candidate Joanne Dobson’s success?
Damien, why all these questions?
I am just curious as the UUP have said that Joanne’s success means they are back in business!
I have met her once and she seems a nice person. Hopefully she’ll be a good councillor. She is much more attractive than most of our politicians (most of whom are brute ugly in so many ways).
